When We Left Earth (2of3) Landing the Eagle / The Explorers #9of9

[cyclenut]

I can remember most of those missions from about 1965 on. Lucky I had interest and can remember when I was 2. I wanted much to see every mission, but they weren't all shown on TV. Sky lab was awesome, the moon missions were awesome.

It was so cool to be a kid back then.

Thanks for posting these great vidoes - Seeing them in color is even better...

@DisappearingBoy2010 you idiot that's from inertia, lack of air resistance and gravity, and/or from thermal changes. Are all americans are so stupid? sorry for being racist :D

[firmingitup]

@cud0s "American" is not a race and anyway, the person never indicated which country they were from, so there was no need to turn it into insulting the intelligence of an entire country's inhabitants.

@firmingitup Maybe its just that a lot of Americans don't want to believe its possible to do stuff like go to the moon and pretend its a hoax.

[DisappearingBoy2010]

Why is that mylar shield thing fluttering at 4:46? There isn't wind in space. Is this a hoax?

[Doctor699]

@DisappearingBoy2010 No it is floating around a little bit due to residual roll, pitch, and yaw of Skylab caused by residual thinner upper atmosphere.

its about time astronauts again have large living/research quarters like this.

I mean even the ISS is pitiful when compared to the individual modules in SkyLab (as far as size)

Its good to see private companies like Bigelow Aerospace taking initiative (albeit with NASA' help) to truly build "cities in space."

Their Sundancer and BA 330 modules may revolutionize space human habitation.

[Zork1915]

@FreedomLiberty21 The ISS serves its purpose well, it really has not need to be so much bigger. But I agree its nice to see big modules and thanks for metioning BA 330 and the Sundancer, ill be sure to check them out!
